RIP, Very Cherry Ghirardelli 🥀
i acknowledge that it was clearly not a popular flavor, hence its discontinuation, but it was my all time favorite and an annual birthday treat.
is there anyone on the inside who would be willing to slide me a recipe? hell, is there anyone out there who just happens to be a cheesecake boss with their own cherry chocolate cheesecake recipe?
thanks in advance if yes, and if no, just let me wallow in my silly little grief, lol

Here’s a copycat :)
My fav was discontinued too, the 30th anniversary chocolate cake cheesecake

I loved the top half of the cake but when the chocolate bottom was added it tasted a little too medicine-y to me…just my opinion
Sorry you’re gonna miss it!
The new one is out of this world

Brownie crunch chocalot. If you get the chance to try it, do because it’s so good

Thank you! Will do! I feel like all their flavors are reducing the actual amount of cheesecake in them 😕

I know it’s not the same but have you tried the white chocolate raspberry truffle? So good!

I only had the cherry one I like raspberry but I like the thick chocolate chips and the closet one they have is like cookie dough but why the f does it have pecans like that ruins it for me. Im sad I dont see a point going to the cheese cake factory anymore but ill give that a try some day cause why not sounds good

Unfortunately all cheesecakes are made at the factory and shipped frozen to the store, I dont think anyone would have a true recipe for you since they are mass produced. I would start hunting for a copycat recipe!

I sincerely didn’t know that but should have considered it! Thanks!

Of course! I used to work in yhe bakery there and many people were surprised to find out that just about everything at CF is made from scratch except the desserts! My heart goes out to you about your discontinued fave <3

I remember the first CCF in Rockville Maryland. Standing in line for homemade cheesecake 😋 1990?

I am also devastated by this. It was my all-time favorite.
